Gautama Buddha was born into an aristocratic family in what would be present-day Nepal. As a young man he fled and became part of a wandering, hermetic, ascetic tradition that existed within Hinduism at that time. He was one of the many who had renounced the material world and wandered and meditated in search of enlightenment and an understanding of the meaning of the world. Buddha, having reached just such an understanding, then preached his first sermon in the Deer Park in Sarnath.
At the time, the idea of karma and the cycle of endless rounds of birth, death and rebirth--much different that Greco-Roman religious tradition--were well-established concepts in Hinduism. Buddha came to believe that all existence involved suffering and only correct knowledge and practice could annihilate suffering (ethical theism?) and achieve release from that cycle of birth/death/rebirth. The dhamma, Buddha's basic teachings, rejected asceticism and instead advocated a moderate life of contemplation to reach enlightenment. This involved control of passions and self-discipline, and an acceptance of the Four Noble Truths:
"that suffering is an ingrained part of existence; that the origin of suffering is craving for sensuality, acquisition of identity, and annihilation; that suffering can be ended; and that following the Noble Eightfold Path is the means to accomplish this."
To attain release involved behavior according to the "Noble Eightfold path":
right views
right aspirations
right speech
right conduct
right livelihood
right effort
right mindedness
right rapture
Buddha taught by story and example. Eventually, his teachings became popularized in a variety of different ways, including monastic establishments, with an enormous following across Asia. The high point came under the Emperor Ashoka, who had converted to Buddhism and sponsored its spread. By the third century ce, the sub-continent had seen the decline of Buddhism and re-consolidation of Hinduism as the dominant religion.
